You should be wearing saftey glasses. You almost poked your eye

Wow that looks so ancient lol

[@BlackJesus8463]

Is that a renewal sucker zip tied to another vine?

[@KingsleyWard]

Great content! What spacing is this particular vineyard? TIA!

[@bedrockwineco.4022]

Good question! This block is 8x8.

Good

Has this vineyard been unused/unmaintained for a while?

[@bedrockwineco.4022]

Not sure on the current status, but at the time of this video, the vineyard was being maintained and harvested. So this is year-to-year pruning, as opposed to rehab pruning you might see with abandoned/unmaintained sites.

What grape variation is that vine?

[@bedrockwineco.4022]

It's a little hard to tell in the winter, but this is the old vine mixed white block, and we're pretty sure that vine is Muscadelle. Would be a lot easier to say for sure with some leaves and fruit on there!
